great place to live but tough if you have a car - the garage is not near the building (have to walk outside 5 minute)

For the price point I don't think Centrum merits its place as the second most popular rental building. The units are nice but not well laid out. Amenities are marginal and found elsewhere.

Great location by the El if/when going downtown becomes a part of life.

Awesome place to live, top quality and location!

Nice amenities

Units are nice and well built. Like the facilities. Management is awesome. They really seem like they are there to make our experience better as opposed to trying to make as much money as possible off of us.

It's a bit on the expensive side, but it's got killer amenities (roof with grill, common room, gym, free breakfast on Fridays, package lockers) and finding it and signing the lease was relatively easy to do from far away, sight unseen. That being said, with more time and the ability to visit other locations more off the beaten path, we probably would have chosen to go elsewhere for two main reasons. First the management. Second, the switch from cool to heat appears to be centrally controlled, which has left many residents in a lurch.

Apart from some very small quirks (lack of overhead lights in bedrooms, translucent shades) I’m absolutely glad I chose centrum over E2. A ton of Kellogg friends still live here, it’s fun, the elevators actually work, don’t have to interact with a doorman to pick up packages or leave my apt to let someone into the building, ceilings and walls are concrete so very quiet for sleeping, very nice fixtures, appliances and amenities, and most important, next door to all the shopping and bars. And the gym is actually useful, good amount of space, machines and weights. The roof deck is amazing in the warmer months, very relaxed about large groups.

Centrum is a newly developed building which has all the amenities one would want in a luxury apartment including gym, parking, rooftop, grills, TV room, study lounge etc. It is in an awesome location near both train lines and by all the Evanston restaurants and bars. It is full of Kellogg students / fun, but a little less dorm like than E2. The walk to campus is ~5-10 minute further

Centrum is great! The finishings are all new in the apartments, making life comfortable. All the amenities also make life easy- gym, study rooms, rooftop, bike room- and it is in a very central location in downtown evanston. The only downsides are that apartments can be smaller than some of the older buildings and it is a long walk to the business school.

Close to restaurants/bars, good for pet owners, lots of other Kellogg students
